The team boss has made clear that he has been discussing his contract renewal over the past weeks with new Daimler CEO Ola Kallenius. “(Sergio) Marchionne wanted me out of Mercedes to manage Liberty and make the team less strong,” Wolff admitted to La Gazzetta dello Sport. “At the moment I can confirm that I will stay,” he added. Wolff also hints that his relationship with Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto is strained. “The relationship with Marchionne and (former Ferrari boss Maurizio) Arrivabene was special,” he said. With Mattia perhaps there is a different approach – we have different characters,” Wolff added.
